Chapter 2: Beginning of it all

"Hello my name is Suzuki Hazuki (leaf and moon), it's nice to meet you," she said.

The students in the room are intrigue of the new girl and want to know more about her. Well everyone will know that Shouhei will get to know her first. Even the teacher knows that.

"Thank you for the introduction Ms. Suzuki," said Mr. Okazuka, "So you will show her around, right Mr. Taki?"

"Yes sensei," he said.

"Good now Ms. Suzuki looks like there is an empty seat right next to Mr. Taki, so if you please have a seat."

"Ok," she said as she went to her seat.

After that classes begin. Their first period class is math, then sciences; English is third, and then its lunch time. As the students are walking out of their classroom, Shouhei went to talk to Hazuki.

"Suzuki-san are you ready for the tour?" he said smiling.

"Yes Taki-san, I'm ready for this tour," she replied.

"Alright then let's start with the tour of the hall."

Then Michio walk to Shouhei and said, "So you're going to give Suzuki-san a tour of the school during lunch huh?"

"Yeah I am. Sorry," he said.

"Hey don't worry about it. Now go and give her a good tour," Michio said as he smiled at his best friend.

"Thanks and you can count on it," Shouhei said smiling back at his best bud.

Then they left their classroom and went to the halls. He showed her the history of the school and tells a few stories about them. Then he showed her some of the clubs room like: art, photography, music, drawing, and fashion. He could see that she is starting to like this school even more. Next he showed her the gym. It was like any other, but this school has a fitness center, which surprise Hazuki. Shouhei spend the whole lunch time giving Hazuki the grand tour of the school. He swears he should get paid for this, but he knew it wouldn't be right. The last stop of the tour was at the office. He asks the secretary a copy of the school map and a schedule book. Then he gives it to Hazuki.

"Here is a copy of the school map in case you get lost and a schedule book for keeping track of your work and other things," he said.

Hazuki takes the school map and schedule book. "Thank you Taki-san," she said smiling.

"Please just call me Shouhei," he said.

"Ok Shouhei, then you can call me Hazuki," she said.

"Heh, ok Hazuki." Then the bells ring for the students to get back to their classroom for the next lessons.

"So that guy that you were talking to before we left for the tour. Is he your friend?"

"Michio? Yeah, we had been best friends since we meet at middle school."

"Oh I see well that nice."

"Yeah, well lets head back," he smiled at her.

"Ok," she smiled back.

They started to walk back to their classroom. As they were walking back they notice everyone is looking at them. They could hear some whisper.

"So that's the new girl huh?"

"Yeah that's her"

"And she's with Shouhei, must be giving her the tour, lucky girl."

"Well it's not news to us."

Shouhei knows that he is quite popular with the students at this school cause of his hard working and being nice, so he was used to it. Though he wishes he wasn't this popular. He also saw that Hazuki notice this as well.

"Well as you now know, I quite popular at this school, but I don't like to be notice that much," Shouhei said.

"Oh I see, but why?" Hazuki said.

"To tell you the truth, I don't like that people see me as a one of the popular people. They think cause I'm popular means that I only hang with the cool and popular group. Well I don't. I hang out with friends who just like me for who I am," he explained to her.

"Well then that's good. Be who you are and who you want to be is what I'll say," she said smiling.

"Nice use of words Hazuki," he said smiling back.

"Thanks."

"No Problem."

Then they were already back to their classroom. Class started with History, which he hates so much. He's hated History since the day he was born. Though he works hard to get a B or higher even though he hate the subject. After History class, students then got up and went to their electives class. Shouhei and Michio both have music for their elective class, but they don't know what Hazuki have. So they decided to ask her what her elective class is.

"Hello Suzuki-san. We haven't been formally introduced. My name is Yoshida Michio. It's nice to meet you," he said in a welcoming voice as he offers a hand shake.

"Hello," she said offering the welcome and hand shake," please just call me Hazuki."

"Ok Hazuki, then you can call me Michio."

"Well now that you guys have introduced to each other. Hazuki me and Michio are wondering what is your elective class. Me and Michio have music," Shouhei said.

"Well what a coincidence, I have music as well," said Hazuki.

"Cool well lets all walk there together then," said Shouhei.

"Alright then let's go," said Michio.

The Music room wasn't far of a walk from their class room. It's only a floor below them and it's at the end of the hall. They were on the second floor, so they got out of there classroom and start to head for the stairs to get to the first floor. Once they were on the first floor, they make a right from the stairs. Then they head straight to the end of the hall and the music room should be on their right.

"Ok here it is, the music room," said Shouhei.

"And let us be the first to welcome you to it," said Michio.

"Well thanks for the first welcome then," Hazuki said smiling at them.

"Ok well then let's go in," Shouhei said as he opens the door for them to get in.

The music room was big like the rest of the elective classroom they have been in and seen. It was also organized. All the strings instruments are along front walls of the room, Wind instruments are on the right side and drums and others instruments are on the left. All of the instruments are also in their respective case.

"Wow," Hazuki said, amaze at the room.

"Yeah this place is amazing," said Shouhei.

"Well what are we standing here for, let's start playing some music," said Michio as he went to get his instrument.

"Come on lets go," Shouhei said as went to get his instrument.

"Ok," Hazuki said as she went to do the same.

Shouhei went to get his acoustic guitar that he left in this class. This classroom lets you leave your instruments in here so you don't have to carry it all the time. He saw Michio got his violin and is going to the usual spot that they always sit, which next to the piano that is near the left side of the room. He then went to Hazuki to ask what kind of instrument she plays.

"What instrument do you play Hazuki?" he said as he walks up to her.

"Oh well I play the piano," she said.

"Oh that's a nice choice," he said smiling.

"Why thank you Shouhei," she smiles back.

"No problem."

Then class started. Hazuki then introduce herself to the class, requested by the teacher. Then class begins. Of course in Music class you don't have to do much. Those who are good don't have to follow the teacher and do whatever they want like: play music, play in groups, work on their song, etc. Those who are never played any instruments before will have to learn from the teacher. Shouhei and Michio have already mastered their instrument, they just take this class for fun and to help students when need. They have masters other instruments, but they mostly play their main one. They were about to play a song together when they heard a piano being played. Then they look to where the sound of the piano is at. It was Hazuki playing.

The music that she is playing was magnificent. There was no word of how the sound is being produce by her and the piano. Shouhei was the most in awe of how well she plays the piano. The music that she is playing can lift ones soul and make all of their sorrows go away. The melody was very smooth. He looked around the room and saw that everyone was watch her play and from the looks of it, everyone is in awe, but not as much in awe as he is. By the time she is finish playing her song everyone applauded her. She was surprise at first, but she composes herself and took a graceful bow. Then everyone was going up to her and asking her a bunch of questions.

"Where did you learn how to play that?"

"How long did it take you to do that?"

"How long have you played the piano?"

"Did you make that song yourself?"

Shouhei could see that this is getting out of hand so he come over to her to help her.

"Ok everyone break it up your going to make her crash," he said. Then everyone started to give Hazuki some room.

"You ok?"

"Yeah I guess I overdid it with that music huh?"

"Nah I think that was an amazing song you just played."

She slightly blushes at that compliment. "Oh thank you for the compliment Shouhei."

"Hey no problem," he smiled at her. He could help it, but he could feel that this school has gotten a lot more interesting with her around, like things are going to change.

"Hey Hazuki want to play a song with me and Michio? We made a song, but we need someone on the piano, so want to have a try at this song?"

"Sure thing, let's see the piece."

He showed her the song and it looks like it's not complicated.

"Yeah I can play this song no sweat."

"Awesome. Hey Michio we got a pianist to play the song."

"Alright let's do this," said Michio.

Then they played the song together with Hazuki. The song has a happy feeling to it. They played it with perfect harmony and the students enjoy hearing the song. Shouhei then knew that things are going to change soon, but he can't help if it's for better or for worse.
